Profile:

His father, the Maharaja of Patiala was a great patron of cricket in the era when princes ruled the game, even to the point of donating the Ranji Trophy. But the Yuvaraj, known as Lt-Gen Yadavendra Singh, made his name playing the game. A tall, elegant batsman, he played in the third Test against England at Madras in 1933-34 and acquited himself creditably. Going in at No 7, the young Sikh made 24 (the second top score) and then graduated in the second innings to the top score of 60, shaping well against the pace of Clark and Nichols and the spin of Verity and Langridge.

Backed by his influential father to take over the country's captaincy, the Yuvaraj in fact led India in an unofficial `Test' against Jack Ryder's Australian team of 1935-36 and was one of the candidates for the captaincy of the Indian team for the tour of England in 1936. But with the winds of popularity blowing against the princes at this stage, he never got another chance and though he was invited to make the tour, State business prevented him from making the trip. Later he served as India's ambassador to Holland from 1971 till his death. (Partab Ramchand)
